Liverpool Star Alisson Becker Praises Andre Onana’s Goalkeeping Skills at Manchester United
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has come to the defense of Andre Onana, stating that he is a top-class goalkeeper who needs time to adapt to life at Manchester United. Onana, who joined United from Inter Milan in a £47.2 million deal in the summer, has faced criticism for his performances and a series of errors in the Premier League.
Alisson, who made a similar move from Roma to Liverpool five-and-a-half years ago, believes that Onana will eventually settle in and prove his worth. However, he acknowledges that Onana has been hindered by United’s collective struggles and the pressure of filling the void left by David de Gea.
Speaking to The Telegraph, Alisson praised Onana’s performance in the Champions League last season and emphasized the importance of patience and support for the Cameroonian goalkeeper. Alisson himself experienced a similar transition from an Italian club to England and understands the weight of responsibility that comes with such a move.
Replacing a goalkeeper like De Gea, who had delivered consistently for United, is a significant challenge for Onana. Alisson believes that while Onana is capable of handling this responsibility, it may take him longer to adjust compared to others due to the changes in team dynamics and the league.
In conclusion, Alisson expresses confidence in Onana’s abilities and urges everyone to support him during this transitional period. He believes that with time and support, Onana will prove himself as a top goalkeeper at Manchester United.
